The exhibit takes place at The Stamford Jewish Community Center from January 3, 2019 thru February 28, 2019. A reception for the artist will be held on January 17, 2019 from 6:30 - 7:30 pm.

Ellen Gordon is a Stamford based mixed media artist. Her work on display is inspired from drawings from private sessions with a model. The finished work speaks about the creative magic that happens when inspiration and form collide. The artwork itself is the result of a searching process – finding the shapes and lines in the figure and transcribing those lines into contemporary portrait compositions. Ms. Gordon will be exhibiting her trademark figurative collages and new intaglio print series.

She holds an undergraduate degree from Boston University and a master’s degree from Baruch College, NYC. She has exhibited regionally and is the recipient of many awards. Her work is in many private locations across the country and abroad.

Ms. Gordon serves on the board of the Greenwich Art Society and is the immediate past director of the Loft Artists Association in Stamford. Ms. Gordon teaches art programs for art lovers of all ages.
